• Periodically Inspect the opening on the pedal platform to ensure all debris is cleared out of the trigger mechanism. Be sure to keep the pedal spindle clean and free of debris.

CAUTION: READ BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR PEDALS
The instructions should be read thoroughly before installation. Riding bicycles is inherently dangerous. Failure to follow these instructions and warning statements before installing and using Vectus pedals can result in severe injury or death.
Pedal Installation:
Step 1: Remove the foam round foam pad that is placed under the flap (between the lever and the trigger) which is used to keep the cuff in the closed position during shipping.
*Remove previous pedals if necessary
Step 2: Apply a layer of Loctite (or any type of good thread locking or anti-loosening product) to the spindle for both the left and right side.
Step 3: Place the right sided pedal spindle into the right crank arm hole. Once aligned, take use an 6mm allen wrench, or 15mm end wrench, or an adjustable crescent wrench* to tighten the pedal to the crank arm to 40Nm. Once complete, repeat these steps for the left pedal and left crank arm.

*Wrenches not included
TIP: Which way to loosen or tighten pedals?
It is confusing to remember which way to spin the wrench to loosen or tighten pedals. A good trick is to remember that with the wrench handle pointing up, you spin the wrench towards the back of the bike to loosen the pedals, and towards the front of the bike to tighten them. This works from either side of the bike.
VFS-10 Engagement:
Step 1: Slip your front toes under the cuff, lift and slide your foot into the pedal under the cuff. As you depress the flap on the pedal (called the lever & trigger) the cuff will lower on to the top of your foot and automatically adjust to your foot size and stop when it senses your foot is secure. The pedals is designed to automatically adjust to foot sizes 6"-16" (men) 7.5"-16.5" (women) [38-49.5 Europe] .
Step 2: For optimal comfort and efficiency, wiggle your foot into a position under the cuff where you feel you get the most pushing and pulling power in your pedal stroke. You can continue to move your foot into a comfortable position as you ride, while still having your foot held securely in place.
VFS-10 Disengagement:
Step 1: To remove your foot from the VFS-10 pedal, swiftly pull your foot out via the rear of the pedal or forcefully slide your foot out to the uncovered side of the pedal.
Step 2: The platform trigger will respond to the decrease in pressure on the pedal platform as you remove your foot and will pop open the cuff into a fully open position. The pedal will then rotate into a vertical position, with the backend of the pedal pointing down towards the ground, giving you the optimal position of the pedal for re-entering.
